My first post on these forums, I thought I'd share my recent rifle upgrading project. Nothing spectacular or amazing, but a lot of fun none the less. I bought a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 ORC from Academy Sports about 2 weeks ago and went online to various places and gathered up my parts to make it exactly how I wanted it.

This was how it looked when I first brought it home:

After 2 weeks of gathering parts, it now looks like this:

After completing it, I finally took it out to the range to zero it and have some fun. This beasty is as smooth as I could ask, I'm totally pleased with the end result. It's my first personal owned AR, but I've fired many over the years.

Edit: Also, canebrake, the NRA link is broken. But no sweat, Google is my friend, I shall endeavor to find my way there using the part of your link I recognize + google.

Edit #2: Also added a couple new parts today, nothing terribly exciting, but rather useful none the less. I added a UTG Tactical LED light with mount to the lower front rail and a Yankee Hill 1/2" height, 6" long rail riser to the upper receiver rail to lift the Eotech and rear flip up BUIS and allow me to get a proper co-witness on my sights. Will take pics later and post.
